Howard County was established in 1851 from parts of Anne Arundel and Prince George’s Counties. Its communities now extend from the historic streets and preserved buildings of Ellicott City to the planned villages of Columbia, established neighborhoods around Elkridge and Ellicott City, and the more open landscapes of western Howard County.
The county’s long history, mature trees, wooded properties, and mix of older and newer homes create a varied residential character. Each community reflects a different stage of Howard County’s growth, from its early Maryland settlements to the planned development that helped shape the county in the twentieth century.
